Hong Kong Skyline
Unmatched views of Victoria Harbour, Kowloon, and the dense skyscraper clusters if the flight departs toward the east.
Annamite Range
Dense, cloud-topped mountain ranges stretching across the borders of Vietnam and Laos.
Irrawaddy River
The massive, winding silver ribbon of Myanmar's primary waterway visible from high altitude.
Bay of Bengal
Expansive horizons and often spectacular towering cumulus cloud formations, especially during the monsoon season.
Hyderabad Cityscape
Aerial perspectives of the historic Golconda Fort and the sprawling urban landscape of Telangana during the descent.
The right side is ideal for daytime travel as the sun is positioned on the opposite side, allowing for better photography of the terrain. During the approach into Hyderabad, the right side often catches a glimpse of the Hussain Sagar lake and the modern HITEC City district depending on the wind direction and landing runway.

Sit on the left for the best sunset views if you are on an evening flight. However, be aware that during the day, the sun will be on this side of the aircraft for the entire duration, which may lead to glare and heat. Keep your window shade down during the mid-flight cruise over the Bay of Bengal to stay cool.
